Our Vision
"Where We Grow LOVE!"
Welcome!
See our Mission Statement below!
Our Mission Statement
Select Outdoor Storehouse [S.O.S] is dedicated to serving the mission of redefining community support for those underserved amongst the families that make up the warm, friendly community of Supply, Virginia.
S.O.S also plans expansive future outreach to others suffering in impoverished "food deserts" in Essex County and surrounding counties where healthy food choices and selections may be farther than a mile away, often the elderly.
By contributing to current efforts of support by providing wholesome vegetables, flowers– as well as this farm's future potential in green innovation, agricultural education, and nutrition outreach programs– this mission assures that not only will the overall mental and physical health of this community improve, but allow these families to thrive.
The Select Outdoor Storehouse Mission is not monetary gain, but the optimization of the quality of life for all.
